I am also very interested to hear opinions on DDD. I recently finished _Architecture Patterns with Python_ [0] which talks about DDD and it was very good. They show some examples of what it looks like to properly highlight and isolate the d

Kids getting murdered is absolutely horrible, we should all be mortified by that and looking for ways to help solve the problem. But at some point it is worth acknowledging that prolonged anguish or anxiety about something bad isn't us
